Giza: Sakkara, Memphis & Dahshur (Pyramid & Felucca Options)

Discover the Cairo Giza Sakkara — an extraordinary adventure designed to bring you the authentic beauty, rich history, and timeless magic of Egypt with expert local guidance.

Step back to the dawn of Egypt with a tour of the pyramid fields and early capitals. Visit the Pyramids of Giza, Memphis, the Step Pyramid at Sakkara, and the pyramids of Dahshur. Depending on the option you choose, you can focus on one site, combine three, or enjoy the full experience capped with a Felucca ride along the Nile. At the Pyramids of Giza, encounter one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. See the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, then stand before the Great Sphinx, symbol of strength and mystery. Your guide will share the stories of the pharaohs and their achievements. Travel on to Memphis, Egypt’s first capital founded over 5,000 years ago. Once Egypt’s center of power, its ruins include the colossal statue of Ramses II and the alabaster Sphinx. At Sakkara, witness the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the world’s first pyramid and the blueprint for those that followed. Its unique design represents a leap in architecture, and the surrounding tombs offer a glimpse into ancient daily life, religious beliefs, and burial traditions. Extend your journey to Dahshur, where pyramid building was refined through experimentation. See the unusual Bent Pyramid, with its distinct change in angle, and the impressive Red Pyramid, one of the earliest “true” pyramids. These sites provide an extraordinary perspective on how Egypt’s most iconic monuments developed. If you prefer a shorter experience, choose Pyramids Only, available in both morning and afternoon periods. For a fuller journey, combine the Pyramids with Memphis and Sakkara, or explore Memphis, Sakkara, and Dahshur together. For the ultimate day, the VIP option lets you experience all four sites before ending with a peaceful Felucca sail on the Nile. We’ve designed options for all interests — choose the one that’s perfect for you: The Shared Tour includes entry tickets, is guided in English, and does not include lunch, offering a social and budget-friendly way to explore.
